Truck no longer a virgin...sniff

That virtue came to an abrupt end at lunchtime today. While stopped in traffic (luckily with my foot on the brake) I got whacked from behind by some young inattentive chick in a mid 90's GMm intermediate (looked like a Cavalier).
Everybody's health is fine....she's probably still crying, trying to figure out what to tell her dad. I heard the cop telling her he was giving her a warning as I was pulling away. I'll have to wait till the end of the week when I can get a police report.
Her car? Gotta be an easy $2000/2500...hood, bumper, 3 of 4 headlights, probably rad supports and hood latch parts. No antifreeze leaking.
The cop said it looked like my bumper was tweaked a little....he's probably right, but it's hard to see. I'll have to look tonight on a lift.
Damn.....I almost wasn't going to get out of the truck!
Now to make a quick call to my insurance agent to make sure I don't get blindsided with anything after her parents find out what happened....
One never knows.
